Last week I saw Pan, directed by Joe Wright and starring Hugh Jackman, Rooney Mara, and Levi Miller. I felt that the film was boring, strayed far too far from the original Peter Pan origin story, and was more focused on extravagant CGI than on developing a strong plot. The characters were quite one-dimensional, the motives of Captain Hook weren't clear and the casting of a white actress to play Tiger Lily made no sense. Overall, the film looked nice, with bright vibrant colours being used at every opportunity, particularly around the natives, but I felt the film had nothing more to it than that and so it is difficult to use it as inspiration for our film opening. Below is the trailer for 'Pan'.
